Centrala warns of ‘devastating’ impact of Arts Council funding loss

UK cultural institution for central and eastern European people forced to seek alternative support

The only publicly funded arts and culture organisation for central and eastern European people in Britain is losing its Arts Council funding, which it said would have a devastating impact on communities, including Ukrainian arrivals.

Centrala, which supports performers and runs galleries, said its removal from the Arts Council's national portfolio would have a disproportionate impact on communities from central and eastern Europe (CEE).
